PREPARING STOCK
FOR 4-H DISPLAY
Feeding, Grooming Require
Knowledge And Care-
Leaders Praise Entrants
For two full, exciting dayi the
fourth annual Jackson county
4-H livestock show held at the
fairgrounds this week brought
forth splendid lists of cham
pions, grand champions, and
premium winners, but Friday
morning, the final day, the boys
nd girls, in four competitive
demonstration contests, really
took their audience behind the
scenes to see what goes Into
4-H work through all the months
before the big show.
Almost as intricate as making
cake, is their technical method
of mixing feed for the beef
calves. Into the mixture goes
oats, barley, grindings, and cot
ton seed cakes to supply pa la.
tability, proper nutrition, and
other fine phases of the calf's
diet, it was explained by Clay
ton Charley and Merton Brad'
haw, whose demonstration team
won the contest.
Placing second in the contest
was the Table Rock hog club,
with Ernest Hamilton and Er
nest Smith seriously showing
how they build a self hog feeder.
Aliene Owens, with Clara Mae
nd Delia Bigham, demonstrated
very neatly minute methods of
fitting a Hereford calf for show
manship, thereby winning third
place In the contest for the Lake
Creek Purebred Beef club. The
girls demonstrated the entire
procedure, including rubbing
olive oil on the hooves, marcel
ling, and cleaning the Here
ford's ears.
Antelope Purebred Guernsey
club placed fourth, choosing to
demonstrate making a calf
halter. Cora Bigham and Bar
bara Culbertson were the con
testants. L. J. Allen, assistant state
club leader, judged the contest,
nd highly complimented the
youngsters on their ability to
expertly demonstrate in public
the many technicalities of the
work which are so well known
to all young livestock owners.
"It's been the finest group
of youngsters, all from the
farms, I've ever worked with,"
declared G. E. Ousterhout of
Little Butte, president of the
4-H Leaders' association, In com
menting on the entire show.
And it was agreed by Glenn
Smith of Ruch, superintendent
of the dairy division, that finer
cooperation from the children
couldn't have been asked for.
"When we asked the youngsters
to do something, not one failed
to do what we wanted," Mr.
Smith said. He also added that
the show has been the finest
yet, and that he is coming back
next year.
The next big event on the
4-H calendar Is the special poul
try show to be held in Hedford
October Slst and November 1st.

ITALY IVES TO
INE
T
Short of Bread, II Duce
Says, As Grain Harvest
Fails Cards Issued.
Rome. Sept. 27. (VP) The
Italian government today an
nounced a far-reaching series of
measures designed to streamline
the country's war effort, Includ
ing bread rationing. Increases In
taxes, curbs on Inflation, decen
tralization of Industry and the
weeding out of lukewarm Fas
cists from nubile office.
The cabinet, meeting under
Premier Mussolini, approved the
group of laws.
These measures revised and
reinforced previous decrees In
tended to discourage Italians
from investin" their cash in nro-
perty or Industrial securities
rather In the government bonds
with which Italv is paying for
the war. Their aim is partly also
to prevent an Inflationary flight
from the lira.
The cabinet, after hearing II
Duce himself report that the
1941 grain harvest "does not
cover the needs of the ponula
tion." announced that bread ra
tioning would begin Oct. 1.
Cards already have been distri
buted.
The basic dally ration was set
at 200 grams (about 6'4 ounces).
Workers are allowed 300 grams
(10 ounces) and heavy workers
400 grams (13 ounces).
Pure white flour long has
been unavailable In Italy, and
bread has been adulterated with
lower grade ingredients, in steps
taken to stave oft rationing.
Spaghetti, a mainstay In Italian
diet, has been rationed for many
months. It likewise has been
adulterated.
Mussolini reported to the
cabinet that the grain harvest
had been lower than the fore
casts, although slightly higher
than in 1940. He estimated the
crop at 71.500.080 quintals, or
about 2H2. 000.000 bushels, as
compared with 71,000,000 quin
tals last year.
The grain harvest, a commun
ique said, "is very deficient as
compared to last year's while
the needs for the armed forces
and the occupied territories have
Increased.
Italy, it was said, must send
food to the occupied territories
In the Balkans, particularly
Greece.
